****************** SPOILER *****************

Last weekend i was at my mum's place, she had bought a new cd player and asked me to set it up. I did all the connection, then tried to play a cd, but the player did not seem to work. After a while I noticed that the cd support had no hole for the laser light to pass, but it was plain and solid; I guessed the laser was placed above the disc support, so that the cd had to be put with playable side up, which indeed worked.

I wanted to use this story for a puzzle, so I supposed that someone who has mainly played vinyl records in his life, i.e. someone older enough than me such as my dad, would have got it immediately as it would have been logic for him to put the playable side of a disc up, just because vinyl records are played that way.

Well it was shorter than what I expected, but still I hope you enjoyed it! Thanks to everyone who played!
